this is an accurate enough rap sheet but it still clings to the myth that biden's crimes stemmed from a botched effort to exert "leverage" over israel—rather than accepting the obvious reality, which is that biden was simply a willing and active participant in genocide

a lot of people debating the merits of that dogshit essay meanwhile the girl’s mom is retweeting demands to ban all trans people from teaching at any level. it’s forest for the trees shit

Paul Mooney was/is/will forever be right.

“Do you wanna see something far worse?“—The Steelers, evidently .

We’re not nearly as combative towards American Christianity™️ as we should be.

I think a big thing I struggle with, and something that is an important thing for people of my generation to attempt to understand, is separating toxic nostalgia from knowledge of the actual ways in which American life has gotten appreciably worse in my lifetime

Every single high-ranking official in the Trump Administration should be tried and convicted at The Hague.

I’m not normally the kind of person to advocate for any human being to be fired from their job, but Kevin Patullo should be shown the door.

Good news in #LandBack. Over 10,000 acres near Lake Tahoe was returned to the Washoe Tribe! The former ranch was purchased with a grant from the California Wildlife Conservation Board. www.sfgate.com/renotahoe/ar...

to keep functioning society must discourage baldfaced lying, especially by authorities

Every year around this time, I ask folks to consider doing something in support of Native people. This year, please join me in supporting the Native Organizers Alliance as they build grassroots power, defend Native voting rights, and equip our people for collective struggle through skill-building.

Sentimental Value is a beautiful film that should be seen by as many people as possible. It is also *very* heavy.

imagine what we could be doing if the federal government wasn't actively trying to throttle the growth of this industry

All I can say as bisexual man who is in the Ghanaian diaspora is the following: this is bleak as hell. www.them.us/story/ghana-...

“Wait, what?”—Jessica Tisch, somewhere.

neat trick: swap in "americans" for "venezualans" and it still works

"post-liberal" leftism cannot position itself as against or counter liberalism (for this is the path to reactionaryism). it must position itself as the inheritor of liberalism, as a movement that seeks to resolve the contradictions of liberalism, to ensure it fulfills its promise of universal rights

The *overwhelming* majority of Twitter accounts are bots.

huh

In today's Laurels/Darts, I interview Jessica Schulberg, the Huffpost reporter who has extensively covered an unjust Oklahoma death-penalty case. She was at the penitentiary when the the convict was spared -- exactly 2 minutes before he was scheduled to die. www.cjr.org/laurels-and-...

I somehow forgot that the owner of OnlyFans donated $11 million to AIPAC. www.rollingstone.com/politics/pol...

HAITI ARE INTO THEIR FIRST WORLD CUP IN HALF A CENTURY ❤️

This is it, right here.

Let’s fucking go

The AI bubble may be about to bust. Peter Thiel has sold all of his Nvidia stock. We all need to say this very clearly: NO BAILOUTS FOR THEFT-TECH! Expropriate their asses instead. They stole from all of us and fully plan to burn the planet. They owe us - not the other way around. 1/3

This lady is not your friend.

those of us laid off from Teen Vogue were really fortunate to complete our fundraising goal — the laid-off staffers at VIBE deserve the same support, as Black media outlets and journalists continue to be targeted and discriminated against in “austerity” measures

stop making excuses for people and treat people like adults

this take gets annoying as a southerner. you should not give up on the south, but no, it is not red because of voter suppression or a lack of funding for dems. doug jones raised shitloads of money and lost. it is red because the overwhelming majority are extremely racist white conservatives

We really need to stop allowing the fascists to dictate how we talk. They've openly said that even criticizing them is criminal. Anyone who isn't them is a "criminal" in their eyes. They don't believe in due process. Literally no one deserves to be kidnapped off the street and disappeared

I hate how on the mark this is. You had one fucking job, South Carolina.

Not at all stunned by him holding this view. A lot of white cis gay men stopped giving a shit about the world in the aftermath of Obergefell v Hodges, so him saying such nonsense tracks.

You can listen to him lay this all out here

Passages getting an NC-17 rating for having one of the lead characters be a bisexual dude with VERY little pushback or criticism towards the MPA was a tell, imo. Admittedly, I’m a bit biased because I myself am bisexual, but I’d say the same thing if I wasn’t.

Mamdani has the chance to do the funniest thing ever on his first day

The stat that blows my mind is that Israel killed more civilians in the first week after October 7 than Hamas has killed since it was founded 40 years ago

If at any point you are tempted to feel sorry for that miserable waste of skin please remind yourself that he has murdered a quarter of a million children and counting

“whatever club he’s invited to join has been devalued by the invitation”

Eagles v Packers was a Harvard-sponsored scientific study.

We’ve come to accept that there’s a crisis among young men. But “you can just as easily argue on the behalf of a woman crisis as a man crisis—or, perhaps most accurately, for an ongoing multidirectional crisis affecting us all,” Jessica Winter writes. https://newyorkermag.visitlink.me/LgnYm_

Thank god.

Honestly think it’s time to start building a real one

Rumours is canonical.

Watson’s death is a fantastic reminder that you can be intelligent without being a good person.

“Bipartisan cmte to negotiate on health care.” Absolutely fucking not.
